Default Towpilots ignoring turn signals

Geez Don, demonstrating ignorance of standard tow signals while calling everyone who use them idiots? Not smart.

Default Towpilots ignoring turn signals

"Only a complete idiot would attempt steering turns"
I am really biting my tongue to now respond with an equally poor rant.

Steering turns were part of my initial glider training at Minden and have been part of my biannual flight reviews on and off for over twenty years at several different soaring sites. I just completed a flight review at Williams Soaring Center and steering turns were part of the review. I actually was directed to make the tow plane make a 180 degree turn using steering turns.

No wonder persons of authority that have to deal with the public tend to drink heavily after a day of work. People are sooooo special.
